Can't remember being impressed by Michelle Williams in anything, Carey Mulligan is always pretty good but has pretty much only been in dire movies.

i liked carey mulligan when i first saw her in the Bleak House miniseries, in fact i am annoyed to realize that she doesn't somehow permanently exist in victorian london.

speaking of zooey being toxic was there ever a thread for "our idiot brother"? her wide-eyed loveliness was really grating in that film

I have never seen any films with Carey Mulligan in.
― post, Friday, 9 September 2011 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
I love her though
really wish there was a clip of michelle williams singing 'i honestly love you' into nixon's tape recorder but ours is a cruel and injust world. carey mulligan seems cute enough, has yet to appear in any movie i have the slightest interest in seeing.

carey, even though I've only seen her on Doctor Who and the Bleak House miniseries. She was way more memorable in both those shows and the ten minutes of An Education that I caught than all of Michelle Williams roles put together (scrolling through her imdb page, I've seen BM, Synecdoche, Deception, and I'm Not There and pretty much forgot she was in all of them).

i love michelle williams esp how from her dawson's creek beginnings she has blossomed into like legitimate actress, carey mulligan seems kindof pointless she is like the indie is the new mainstream kate bosworth
― plax (ico), Saturday, 10 September 2011 11:29 (twelve years ago) link
like there is essentially no point in her existing
Williams has a depth of character and gravitas she can bring to the table that Carey doesn't yet, from what I've seen of her. Surprised at the dislike of CM. Williams is the clear winner for me.

otm, and even when she was on Dawson's Creek you could tell there was an adventurousness about her (around the same time she was pretty good in If These Walls Could Talk 2). Wendy & Lucy made me really aware of how much she'd matured, and she just killed it in Blue Valentine

Much love for Carey, but Michelle is Binoche-like in her ability to get more beautiful as the years move on.
― Gukbe, Friday, September 9, 2011 6:43 PM (Yesterday)
^^^i like this, yeah
I think we'll have a better idea about Carey later this year when we've had a chance to see both DRIVE and SHAME. But she's very good in AN EDUCATION and also NEVER LET ME GO.
BLUE VALENTINE is bad, much worse than AN EDUCATION, which has a few missteps (Paris + ending) but is mostly very fun comfort food.
MEEK'S CUTOFF forever.

haha. carey mully crushes in that imho, i don't really take plax's opinions srsly on anything but 'there is essentially no point in her existing'? idk where this comes from, ditto the other haters. michelle williams has done a lot more and so most of it is bound to be indifferent. she did a good british accent in that one film.
dawsons creek was a thing that existed, i doubt it's better or worse than 90210 or whatever kids of 2011 watch.

Joan Collins has blasted Kate Winslet's "awful" hair and "dreadful" dress sense.
The 78-year-old actress is stunned by the Oscar winner's disappointing outfit choices and slammed her "ghastly" accessorising at the recent Venice Film Festival.
When shown a picture of the Reader star, Joan - who is famous for her glamorous look - said: "Oh, that's a dreadful dress. The worst dress. And ghastly shoes and an awful hairstyle. I'm sorry."
As well as being critical of Kate, Joan also blasted singer Adele, Gwyneth Paltrow - who recently described her late grandmother as a "****" - and admitted she is unhappy that An Education star Carey Mulligan is to star in a forthcoming production of My Fair Lady.
She told the Daily Telegraph newspaper: "Is (Gwyneth) the one who called her grandmother a rude word on air? I thought that was pretty shocking.
"I don't want to comment on Carey Mulligan. I can't believe she's playing Eliza Doolittle in a new movie.
"Adele is a very good singer, very, very talented, but she has a terrible hairpiece."
